The most dependable band in hip-hop has had a busy year. Not only have they become the resident musicians for the popular US talk show hosted by Jimmy Fallon; but they have also found the time to release an album of protest songs in the company of John Legend as well as their own work, where they’ve expanded their already eclectic musical range by collaborating with such blog-folk favorites as Joanna Newsom or Monsters Of Folk. ‘How I Got Over’ wasn’t the masterpiece The Roots are due to deliver since long time ago, but it gave us more hope to keep on waiting.
